 * Is it possible to change the shortcode. I prefer `[[` and `]]` e.g. This is my
   text.`[[`This is my footnote`]]` Text carries on.
 * Or `[fn txt="This is the footnote text"]`
 * Or `[fn]Some more footnote text[/fn]`
 * footnotes plugin had such functionality: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/footnotes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/footnotes/)
 * Thank you!! 🙂

 * You could try adding something like in your functions.php
 *     ```
       global $easyFootnotes;
       add_shortcode( 'fn', array( $easyFootnotes, 'easy_footnote_shortcode' ) );
       ```
   
 * I don’t have anything in the plugin for doing it through the dash but I’ll add
   it to the list of feature requests.

 * Thorned,
 * There is a plug-in called [Shortcoder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcoder/),
   that allows you easily write shortcodes. Perhaps you could use it to wrap the
   shortcode of Easy Footnotes.
